A reminder in the article of both the press secretary and Vice President's comment on Trump doing the EXACT same thing.

MSM is basically silent.

I enjoy seeing the double standard being revealed.

 

[Hank77]

Interesting article, thanks.

If the accounts are accurate, the VP was not informed of the air strike before it happened. She was left out of the loop.

So, no congressional, nor VP input. Sounds kinda dictator like. (If it was Trump)

Has the VP or Press Secretary made a comment about Biden's airstrike?

Has the VP or Press Secretary made a comment about Biden's airstrike?

I would expect they will have to soon. And that they will be supportive of their president. I would be shocked if they were not approving ... this time around.

What was your attitude when Trump conducted such operations? Why do you care what other people are saying if you supported it before? Or did you not support such actions before?

I did not and do not support military involvement in foreign countries at all. The only purpose of the US military is to secure the borders of the US. Therefore I did not support military action against foreign countries that did not attack the US by Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush ,Obama or Trump and I do not support Biden in any way imaginable. What is/was your position on Biden's , Trump's and Obama's and any other past president's use of the military on foreign soil and has it been consistent?

I encountered the same "the media is silent" rhetoric in another thread attempting to bash President Biden too. It doesn't take much effort to search online to discover that the narrative is totally bogus.

CNN - US carries out air strikes in Syria targeting Iranian backed militias

ABC News - US carries out airstrike against Iranian-backed militia in Syria

Politico - Biden ordered airstrike after determining Iran supported rocket attacks

NBC News - Biden orders airstrikes in Syria, retaliating against Iran-backed militias

Newsweek - Biden Orders U.S. Airstrikes on Iran-Backed Groups in Syria After Iraq Rocket Attack

I am yet to see a link where it says Biden didn’t inform congress, nor I see a link which says VP was not informed. In another word the Subject line is misleading.

I enjoy seeing the double standard being revealed.

I too am enjoying seeing the shoe on the other foot for a change.

I've gotten tired of the "Hypocrisy is only OK when Republicans do it, but when Democrats do it we must cry FOUL!!!" position.

Nice to be reminded once in a while that the sauce for the Goose tastes the same on the Gander....

Here is what they are basically silent on -

This is why context is so important.

Like I said, it doesn't take much effort to search online to find out the narrative is totally bogus.

Newsweek mentions both Vice President Harris and the Press Secretary in their article.

Joe Biden Syria Airstrike Prompts Hypocrisy Accusations

The Washington Post mentions Vice President Harris and the Press Secretary in their article.

How consistent is Biden’s Syria strike with his team’s criticism of Trump?

Newsbreak - Past Biden and Psaki tweets resurface after Syria airstrike

Salon - Kamala Harris, Jen Psaki Syria tweets resurface after Biden launches deadly airstrike

Daily Caller - Old Tweets From Democrats Slamming Trump Resurface After Syria Airstrike

MSN.com - Psaki slammed for old tweet criticizing Trump's Syria airstrike after Biden launches attack of his own

Business Insider - A 2017 Jen Psaki tweet questioning the legality of bombing Syria is reemerging after Biden launched an airstrike

I'm not familiar with The U.S. Sun, but it called out Biden, Harris, and Psaki: Biden, Psaki & Harris blasted for ‘hypocritical’ tweets slamming Trump strikes after dropping their own bombs on Syria.

still waiting for the link which says Biden didn't inform congress !

If the accounts are accurate, the VP was not informed of the air strike before it happened. She was left out of the loop.

And this guy also has sole control over the nuclear launch codes. God help us!

Thanks for pointing out Biden's hypocrisy.

Even Democratic Leadership is uncomfortable with that.

His own party doesn’t trust him.

Dozens of House Democrats want Biden to give up sole authority to launch nuclear weapons

His own party doesn’t trust him.

I think they'd rather have Kamalla. I've always said that getting her in the president's seat was their goal all along. Better the black female than the old white guy.

 

[parousia70]

No Problem.
I'm just wondering why I should care about it, after 4 years of being told that Republican Hypocrisy is A-Ok?
